FREE Suspension set up offer

[Shaun]

Hi, I keep reading about people having trouble getting there bikes to handle, and I see a lot of posts asking for help and advice as how to modify there set ups to make there bikes handle.

I live in New Plymouth where I run my buisness from, I am offering to any Kiwibiker Free set up service for your bikes

The Free part applies to Set up of your standard suspension ie, no parts added, no parts taken off the bike, just a messure up of your current set up, and changes to those settings, basically a 30 minute process!

From doing these messurements and mods, I would be able to 99.9%Gaurantee that you will leave happier than when you arrived, I also live on one of the best test roads in the country!

We may discover after doing all the base set up that you may require different springs, and or different fork oil, and possibly even different fork oil level, if so, that is where I would make any potentuall income from.

If any one wishes to take this offer up, please call me on my cell 027-2559143 or send me an email, PLEASE do not send me pm's on this!

If you do not know who I am, ask around, I am not saying I know it all, I am saying I have 20 years of succesfull racing behind me which has shown me a lot of tricks.

No Pm;s Please

[onearmedbandit]

Wanna move to Christchurch Shaun? What an awesome offer, if I'm ever up your way I'll definately give you a call.

[texmo]

I am in with a grin.

[Mr. Peanut]

Sure, it's only a 760km return trip ;)
Bet the ride back would be faster though.

[Colapop]

It may be an idea - you can give me a teach on how to ride proper too!

[sAsLEX]

I am in with a grin.

Do you even know where New Plymouth is?!

[Coyote]

Might be a good Sunday ride once the RG is rollin

[texmo]

Do you even know where New Plymouth is?!

Nah, hope the courier will though.

[sAsLEX]

Nah, hope the courier will though.

So you couriering yourself and the bike down there? Wouldnt it be easier to ride?



Things like static sag and setting it up for your weight etc generally need the bike and the rider (or someone of the same mass.....

[Kornholio]

What an offer...am coming down your ways soon to have some ales with the Ginger Ninja(aka Sensei) and see what all the fuss is about with the roads down there... Ill give ya a yell closer to the time man :D

[Mr. Peanut]

I'll "courier" your bike anytime :love: I reckon I could get an average of 220km/h down the SH3 :rofl:

[xsive-rider]

yeah, i will be in on that too, it's well worth the ride, will be fun.
cheers.

Sensei tweaked mine on the CBR and what a great difference it made! I've been around a couple of times to the shop to say hello, but you have not been there. I figure it has something to do with me doing shiftwork and doing strange hours. Will keep trying. As for the naki KBers, your foolish if you do not take Shaun up on this offer!

Closed the shop in town mate, I operate from home now out in the country, it allows me to keep my over heads very low, allowing me to offer services like this, as well as it means I really get to pick and choose the work I do which is building project one off bikes for people from parts I import directly from America and race bike building and maintanence of the above as well as Chassis servising for road bikes and my suspension service being as I am an Ohlin's agent, and parts and acc dealer.

If I lived any closer I'd take you up on your kind offer. :niceone:


Btw, your vans suspension was looking a tad wonky as you flew past us over the Bombay hill going south last Thursday arvo, lol. :rolleyes:

Sweet Shaun, after riding Kit's bike that you set up, I've been wanting to get my rear shock looked at and possibly fiddled by you for a while now...

Sent you a PM about it once, but I see now that ya don't answer them...

Hopefully you're available on weekends...if so, I'll try and make down this month.

Cheers :niceone:

Cheers for the heads up, won't go around to the old shop again.:done:

[pritch]

Closed the shop in town mate,

I had noticed that the former premises was empty and was thinking that you may be doing that mobile business that you had mentioned here previously.

Your offer is brilliant and I'd love to take you up on it immediately, but next week I'm going to a seaside resort/penguin colony called Phillip Island or something like that...:bye:

But I did put your number in my cell phone. :yes:

[Brett]

Dude, that is a pretty sweet offer, if only you were closer to Auckland!

[Shaun]

It's there for all to take up

[Croft]

WOW!!! What a GREAT offer!!! Will have to plan a trip from Auckland REAL soon!!

Wahooo!!

[Mental Trousers]

[boomer]

Couple it with a track day when he is up for his racing team, have him stay at the boomer residence and well the rest is easy.........

[Shaun]

Travel to Auckland to do a FREE service for you guys at my exspense as well as not being at work earning an income to pay for my life's games, Sounds like a great idea, I'll be write up NFOMFCL

Tight winging bastards, get ya arse on ya bikes and get the hell down here, shit, I may even offer a home stay plan service for the OLD geriatrics that find it to hard to ride from AUCK to Taranaki and back, what, a whole 8 hours and need a bed to rest in, what say, 1 nights accom PP, a 6 Pack, 2 Course evening meal, breakfast, video,s, shit talk dribble conversation about racing ( Basically LIES) $70.oo bahahahahah Harden up people.

[Shaun]

Forgot my rant about the race track

From the next race track day on untill the end of the NZ champs, I will not be doing work at the track for road riders ( Sorry) as I have to look after my own arse, apart from the young riders that the team will be helping, advising, guiding.

OTHER RACERS- Come and ask, if I have the time, you,ve got it!

Track days are a diffferent thing, always available for helping on track days, any time, come on up and ask your question.

[merv]

Whatever is said on this thread this is a good offer and good on you for doing it you are a champion. I don't think I need to take up your offer but thanks anyway.

[kiwifruit]

What an offer!
Top man,
love your work.

You've gotta feel pretty privileged to have someone of Shaun's talent, background and experience offering to set up yer bike.
I sure do.

[boomer]

i just asked the mrs how far to your gaff and she said 5-6 hours, so im guessing thats in teh car;

now im jobless i might come down mid week for a blast as long as you promise to sell me teh rear Ohlins for my bike at mates rates.

I'll flick you a txt later in teh week... Top Man Shaun.

Anyone else from D'Orkland fancy a mid week run down that ways???

[texmo]

So you couriering yourself and the bike down there? Wouldnt it be easier to ride?



Things like static sag and setting it up for your weight etc generally need the bike and the rider (or someone of the same mass.....

Nah im sending my rear shock down and my front forks with internals. Shaun knows im 80kgs, and will do a basic set up for me. Then next time we meet at the track he might make a few tweaks..

[Shaun]

Good on you for the offer Shaun, and it obviously has the potential to generate further income.. But did you notice where all the people live that want there bikes sorted?????? Whats that say ol chum.


Hey Mate, I know exactaually what you are saying but, to set up as I would like to in Auckland would take at least 80K, as well as I believe once you jump into the big A for buisness reasons, You really get caught up in the chasing the $ due to over heads and so on, my focus of my buisness would have to change from a buisness based on Passion, experience, plessure,Income.

Apart from the fact that once you have lived in Taranaki, it is pretty bloody hard to find better, we have every thing out door you can think of around here, I get to see my mountain every day, my daughter and me get to go and chase the farm animalls around every day and so on.

Maybe in a couple of years time, but I am picking some one is going to come along and offer me a Mega sallary soon to Go work for them some where in Auckland I am guessing.

The 13th and the 14th are gone days!

[vtec]

Hi Shaun, I sent you an email, but it was through the kiwibiker email thingy and I don't know if you got it or if it was sent to an inactive email address.

Anyway, I am another in desperate need of suspension setup. I am a complete noob with regard to suspension adjustment as pretty much all of my previous experience has been on the completely non-adjustable CBR250RR.

I have now come into possession of a very nicely modified CBR600RR that is going to take me quite some time to pay off, and it has an Ohlins rear shock and revalved front forks. I took it out on the practice day before the last VMCC meeting, and the suspension was way too hard, I will be at the next Manfeild practice day just before the penultimate VMCC round, and plan on racing it in F2 at that meeting. However, until I have it set up properly, I'm going to be crapping my pants riding it hard, as last time, I was losing my footing from hitting bumps, and ended up with my nuts pressed on the tank.

So I suppose my first question should be, will you be at Manfeild on the 22nd or 23rd of September?
And if so, will you have the time and the inclination to help me setup the bike so that I can ride it as hard as I've been riding my 250?
If not, I might be able to get it to you on the Sunday afterwards, but it's quite difficult to get there at any other times seeing as I'm from Auckland.

If you aren't able to do it on either of those two days, I totally understand, cause I have seen how busy you are at the track, and I'm sure that I'll be able to get some other KB'er to have a crack at it.

[Edit] I notice that you don't plan on doing any work on race days which is totally fair. I could get the bike to you on the Friday the 22nd, it just means that I'll have to miss the practice day. I would gladly miss the practice day to get the bike set up properly.

Cheers.

[texmo]

What times were you pulling around manfeild last round jason?

[vtec]

I don't know on the 600, but was doing 1:27.1 on the CBR250. You probably already know that. :zzzz:

So when will your beast be ready to join me?

Racers are different dude, just edited the part about not helping others at the track, anyway

Take a look at the spring in the rear of your bike, write down all the numbers you can see for me, and PM them to me- Is yours an 04RR

Will be there on Friday to help you mate.

[texmo]

I don't know on the 600, but was doing 1:27.1 on the CBR250. So when will your beast be ready to join me?

your not doing 1:26 yet? come on dude.... I will be at taupo on the 14th.

[vtec]

Damn, you are a legend. I'll get onto getting those numbers for you tomorrow.

I think it is an 04 RR. It was run previously by the Museum Hotel Racing Team apparently, so I think I got pretty lucky with my score.

[Toast]

Shaun. Are you free this weekend?

If so, who from Aucks wants to ride down?

[Shaun]

Play the game guys, opening offer says very clearly CALL ME!!!!!!!!!

I come here to read and post and relax and have a laugh at wanker sales men that think taking the piss out of people with an obvious language disabillity is OK and acceptable, some one go tell that wanker to piss off please!

Now go away and call me PLEASE

[Kornholio]

[Paul in NZ]

I think the springing on my 1970 triumph is overcoming the dampening... I just can't find the adjustment points. Sitting a case of beer on the tank seems to help but I'm developing an addiction to beer and as the ride goes on, the load gets lighter and I end up back where I started (except I no longer care)

Can you help?

No, I can tolerate the harsh ride - I just need more beer...

as your bladder fills from drinking the beer....urinate back into the empty beer bottles....I may suggest having one beer before riding and filling that one with water....this will help with the time delay of your old kidneys curning out urine and a slow pace....to keep the balance!

[boomer]

Well, i'm absolutely shagged!

Supposed to get up at silly o'clock to meet Beyond & FishSlayer; only my battery died so no alarm clock; an hour late i'm playing catch up on an already 40 minute trip to the meeting point;

Got there ( thanks Valentine ;) ) just after 11 to see Josh, Paul & Shaun stripping teh gixxer down :)


Well.. a HUGE trip and i'd have to say a HUGE thanks to Shaun for your time and knowledge... THANKS MATE! i hope teh whiskey lasts at least one good session :rockon:


left just after 8, got back at 6 and i'm shagged! awesome ride, awesome countryside and a nice burger and beer and good company and i get a properly setup honday to boot .. good on ya mate! see you on a track soon i hope :scooter:


did i mention i'm shagged? ( good luck Paul getting your H.A.R.D. system running.. that way i don't need to take the lead and we can run faster paces :yes: ) and now i'm in need of two more tyres :(

[Shaun]

Thanks Guy's for kind words, Boomer YO Boomer, you didn't say man, is it better worse or indifferent? let me know mate

[boomer]

yeah, im not sure whats going on Shaun, today the tyres felt 'squishy' both going down and comin back so i was off my riding, coming back the diving wasnt there BUT she did feel a bit spongy;

i'm gonna delay comment mate till i get some new rubber; im sure its LOADS better, today was just one of those days you get something in ya head and it sticks.. ya know what i mean?? :mellow:

[Shaun]

Sweet as, that rear was definately rooted

Before you do change them, just check the pressure for me mate and PM what is/was, cause I am guessing they are on the low side

[Fishy]

Have to say a big thanks to Shaun for setting up my bike, feels so much more planted now and not saggy in the rear when getting back on the juice out of corners. Looking forward to giving it a good run on some road I know.

Highly recommend Shaun to anyone who has suspensions problems or is in need of accessories. Top bloke, very helpful and very knowledgable....and he makes a good cuppa coffee too. :niceone:

The ride down was pretty good other than the freezing cold fog through the waikato. Pretty good roads right the way through really, only took us 3 hours including a 15min stop in Otorohonga.

Shaun I will let you know how it feels once I've taken for a good ride on some local roads, but so far so good!.

Shaun, if you saw the text messages he sends me you'd understand. Sometimes I can't sleep at night thinking about being molested by Bjorn from Abba whilst I'm hogtied and he keeps calling me Agnetha....

otherwise we can go with

now i have my PXT working again i can send you some photo's to 'help'

[Toast]

Thank you so much for your time today Shaun!

Before: Understeer, rough ride.

After: Understeer virtually eliminated, much smoother ride (especially considering the rooted rear shock)

Best way that I can illustrate the effectiveness of the set up is as follows:

Ol' cooked bread here got a bit confident on a downhill dusty lefthander on SH43 (beautiful road), causing both wheels to step out in perfect symphony (first time that it's happened to me like that, normally it's one, then the other, and all a bit ragged)...

The balance was sweet! The bike realigned itself without drama, perfectly smooth, no unwanted wiggles or twitches...stunning...flattering too.

I owe ya Shaun. Hope to send business your way when I can.

Thanks again,
Phil

(PS: sorry it took me about 10 seconds to realise it was you waving to me at Te Kuiti...3 hrs sleep the night before...brain was beginning to shut down)

[Shaun]

Shaun, if you saw the text messages he sends me you'd understand. Sometimes I can't sleep at night thinking about being molested by Bjorn from Abba whilst I'm hogtied and he keeps calling me Agnetha....

it's freaky, freaky shit.....


Yuk, u R both disturbed, and have some white jackets on the way for you both

[Shaun]

Thank you so much for your time today Shaun!

Before: Understeer, rough ride.

After: Understeer virtually eliminated, much smoother ride (especially considering the rooted rear shock)

You're welcome mate, you did look quite proud of your self when I saw you at Te Kuiti. Bloody great we got it a lot better for you, and apart of why I decided to this was, I know some of you guys push along on ya scooters ( Only in the write conditions of course) and I kept reading about bad handling bikes and stuff like that so, I did what I am doing to try to give you guys a much smoother/safer ride when youre out playing:scooter: Racing!

And I would be a liar if I did not say it is a marketing idea for my buisness, and I still get a huge buzz out of making bikes better, it is what I do best in life.

Stay safe!

[bugjuice]

bit late here, but I vouch for Shaun's work any day..
Even just setting up stock stuff can be made way better. Shaun proved that to me, but then went the extra mile by rebuilding them and getting a ok bike to a race spec.. impressed..

[Shaun]

I Failed mate, I thought I had saved your post name but am a looser! You or some one please PM me

[RM125king]

you coming near auckland ways any time soon shaun?

[Colapop]

Shaun ... you're not... possibly ...coming down this way at all... for a suspension clinic...? Got a nice group ride on the 1st of October.

[boomer]

now i'm truely versed in the art of suspenders... i can sort you welly crew out!

Got a set of new rubber today from Cycletreads.. man what a HARD decscion.. i went with the Pilot Powers in mind, however as soon as i got there chatting with Budgie i was almost gonna get the 208 rr's again. They're wicked although not so mileage friendly.

so i ummed and ahhhed about the Pilot Powers, the 208rr's the 208 Qualifiers and the m3's and said.. what the heck.. lets try the tyre everyones ravin about! i succumbed to the Pilots

So the bike got jacked up and Budgie starts tinkering.. You need new front pads, knackered and worn uneven; oh and your suspensions too soft.. so an hour later, some major tinkering and $630 lighter i ride out;

Now first impressions .. my steering damper must be cranked right up as this is as stiff as a board to steer, hard to counter steer :( slow to drop into a lean but does go over smoothly, they don't dive in like the 208's.. So i check.. nup, the damper is set right!!! Is this due to the profile of the Pilots or the hardened suspension??

a good run out tomorrow will tell, bed my brakes in and scrub the tryres

Any one wanna buy a 2005 cbr600rr?

[beyond]

That's unusual Boomer. Shaun screwed your rear preload up heaps as it was way to soft and they reckon it still was??

Now, I can only say, check your tyre pressures. The guys in the tyre shops are generally very good but you need your own quality gauge and check them when they are cold in the morning. Others will be along shortly to tell you the pressures you need on your bike but I reckon 37-38 rear and 35-36 front. It sounds like they may be on the soft side if your steering is tight.

Also, I take it your front wheel, fork and bars go from side to side easily when you have the front wheel off the ground? If not you may have a kanckered steering head bearing or it's up too tight.

Weird huh! Shaun told me to set them at 29 & 31 which i did on the 208's and she was ok on teh coro run; she did still feel a little squashy ( is that descriptive enough???) like a marsh maloow even :lol:

The shop set the pilots at 36/38 i think. I'll check the pressures tomorrow and check teh steering as you suggest Paul :2thumbsup

Cheers Paul !

i left Cycletreads today and went across to holeshot and stared at the K6 thou for half an hour, having major discussions with myself as to wether to trade in THERE AND THEN and the repocussions from the ministry of finance when i got home!

Sure enough my already shriveled knackers shrank even more and i walked out VERY disappointed with myself!

im keen to swap mate :beer: oh and i had a few cracks at my 6inch wheelies on the way home and i saw a crest and thought .. oooh give it a crack on there..... damn near shat ma pants when the front came up 3 foot .. hahhahahahahhah maybe im destined to walk :whistle:

[boomer]

What would budgie know more than Shaun Harris about suspension setup? Youve just wasted Shauns and your time you stupid git. Shoulda left it alone.
Check your tyres are 36 front and 38 rear. When they put my new tyres on they put 42 or somethin in the rear, I soon sorted that.

Your right! although shaun was not as daft as he looks :) he wrote my settings down ( i hope ) !

a phone call to Shaun should sort it

[SPman]

Not coming over to WA are you?
Got a ZX9R thats pretty good most of the time, except it tends to push wide on high speed sweepers - and with the gravel verges at the edge of the seal over here, it can get a little too sphincter clenching
at times!

wind on more rear preload....a couple of turns....then test.....then a couple more then test....see if it feels better

running wide is usually because your rear is squating to much while powering out or corners....a lil more low speed compression wouldn't hurt either...

[Shaun]

Dude, you got my full attention FREE of Charge, and then have a tire fitter fuck with the set up, and now you do not like the way it handles :Pokey:

You u r screwed now man, I do not keep notes on bikes I set up for the road for people, as I do not expect them to go away and change things with out writing it down them self first!

1st time was FOC, next time, if you want me to do it again, it will definately cost you, as this is my buisness, you know, bread and butter on the table and all that shit

After finding out just how soft my rear suspension is I know I'll hav to come se you. I think I'll get a new shock and bring it or will you have something for me? If I do get one where should I go and how should I be paying (approx.)

The preload is about 2 or 3 clicks away from the top and it's still squishy.

[Shaun]

Give me a call on 027-2559143 I do supply all after market suspension components

Moto-Dynamix main buisness is chassis set up, ie, any parts required for your chassis

I import a lot of gear from the USA every week!

Max time from order to your door is 10 days, obviously can be done quicker

Best way to contact me is by phone

Thanks

[Colapop]

Thanks man. I'll call.

Dude you're a muppet aye...

I saw Shaun writing shit down, but didn't expect that he'd keep it.

If I'd done a similar thing as you, I'd still gladly take his services in exchange for $$$...but I didn't so I'll save my money for an Ohlins shock :D

hahhahaha; teh funny thing is i'm not that bright at the best of times, so when matey boy at cycletreads jumps on in with boots and all i didn't know what to say other than... 'Shaun Harris has just done all that for me mate!"

before i know it hes wound it down, back up and there ya go! Oh well; i feel like a right kunt as it is.

i gotta get a couple of things of ma chest tho..


I respect Shauns gone out of his way and he probably feels like i've wasted his time, for that i apologise!
i did buy Shaun a bottle of half decent whiskey for his troubles and rode all the way to fukin never never land.. so it wasn't exactly free :(
I'm not the most capable of riders, only been riding a year and half so i wouldn't know good from bad in all honesty when it comes to hows the bike 'feeling'.. other than if and when its fucked! ( technically speaking )
The bike is heavier now, but i'm guessing its the tyres ( or profile ) of teh new tyre however im still as fast/slow as i was; i just adjust my style and get use to the feel.

i'm still alive and kicking and enjoying the bike and more likely than not, Shaun will get some $$$ from me for a shock ( if he's not too pissed to take ma money.. we know the strawberry blondes have a firey temper huh :p )


Hey, i'll hold ma hand up, i'm a kunt, a daft kunt and i apologise Shaun, i hope i havent offended you and by no means ANYONE take this as me not liking the work he did. fuck it.. im gonna go have a wank :whistle:

Bike now turns in faster than my 250 need I say more?

Tosser, the whiskey was great, Gave it to my Bank manager:buggerd:

I'm not offended man, it is your bike and your life, if it was better before the tyre change handling wise, I know what to do to put it back that way, of Course I kept the notes, Just wanted you to shit for a bit:beer:

Man this place can be a killer:lol:

[MattRSK]

Shaun,
My bike will be going back to the shop to get my leaking fork seals repaired again for the third time. If the problem is not fixed this time I will be requiring your services. I will keep in touch.

But you're laughing too, Boomer so it's all good.

[beyond]

Hey Boomer, you ride alright mate. :) I always tell people it takes a minimum of 5,000kms to get to know your bike well enough to push it harder and 10,000kms is way better.

At the end of the day, go out, enjoy yourself, try not to prove yourself to anyone, ride within your own personal limits, not someone elses and then you will be a round a long time to enjoy your motorcycling.

After the last Coro loop and watching yet another mate have a real bad accident, the roads just aren't up to going hard. One week they can be fine and the next week stuffed just where you don't expect it. It's becoming a game of Russian Roulette riding hard on the road.

Oh, didn't want to hijack your thread there Shaun. :)

[Shaun]

So your point to my thread is

[Paul in NZ]

Fair enough - gone

[Shaun]

Fair enough - gone



That was actually a genuine Question Paul?

[Paul in NZ]

That was actually a genuine Question Paul?

Yes - I just didn't ask it very well.

I've improved things on the damping and spring rate by customising components but fitting something with external adjustment is the ultimate answer and thats beyond my ability. I'm happy with the improvements made to the Triumph thus far but I want to make it better. I realise the results are pathetic compared to whats possible on modern vehicles. Certainly it's of limited interest to people and belongs elsewhere.

[Shaun]

Take a look at bikes that peole like Sam Smith and Dave cole are racing, ( G50's) they have internalls from modern ie, 04-05 bikes fitted in an inverted manner, anything is possible Paul

[kiwifruit]

Im going to bring my bike down to you Shaun (when i get it)
I hope your offer is open for a few more weeks?

That is people that have not got in touch with me through here or by telebone since I gave you my time

[kickingzebra]

Mines Flipping magic mate!
Feel like there will be room for some fine tuning yet, but in general, completely different bike, handles, drops in. BrillO!

mine handles awesome, thanks shaun.

Looking forward to getting the work done!!!.

[dhunt]

Thanks again Shaun for setting up the bike.

It's amazing what a difference having the suspension tweaked can do :first: :2thumbsup

[Zapf]

Ah finally the thread. :)

Well I thought I had an Ohlins... with the difference it made from the factory Hornet rear suspension. But after going to see Shaun and about 1/2 hour later, well I thought the difference was another Ohlins.

Thanks Shaun for making my ride back to Auckland so enjoyable on SH3 in the wind and rain. And cheers for the warning about the clay like stuff... they were slippery :)

I'll be back for suspension mods to my 954.

Cheers
Zapf

[Shaun]

Cheers guy's, glad your rides are better and safer!

[Devil]

Now that I've got new tyres, I think it's time I organised to come down. If I can just fit it into my schedule :(

[TerminalAddict]

Hey shaun,
is the offer still open?
and what about timing .. like on a work day only? or a re weekends ok? (prolly not this saturday ;) )
I've been chewing this idea over .. and since I have recently put new M3's on .. it may make all the difference (prolly will anyway :) )

[Shaun]

This offer is now Finished! Thanks to those that that came, Hope it made a difference, time for me to move on from the KB board.

[ktulu]

Good on ya Shaun, knowing what its like running your own business I am bloody impressed.

The people that have made the most of this should be very greatful

All the best in your future endevours

[Shaun]

Thanks mate, The thing that forced this issue was people ordering stuff from me and then deciding not to take it! I do not like being used by any one

[The Stranger]

At the track day Shaun set up several bikes in our group.
What can I say?
This guy is farken awesome!!!
All reported a distinct improvement.

Even though we couldn't pinpoint or accurately describe the issues we faced he was able to zero in on the source and correct them even with rather vague descriptions.

What a bloody awesome country we live in! To be able to get access to people of this calibre and at such a reasonable cost.

[Fishy]

Agree with you the CaN, Shaun is awesome!. I had some funny handling issues with the K6 and got Shaun to sort it for me, his work is simply worth every penny. If you want your bike handling better/safer then get in touch with Shaun, you will be very surprised at how much better he can transform the handling in your machine. :niceone:

[Shaun]

Thank you guys:sunny:

Good on you for making the effort, sounds like some benefitted G.

[McDuck]

Thanks mate, The thing that forced this issue was people ordering stuff from me and then deciding not to take it! I do not like being used by any one

The trick to stop that is you take a 10% desposit. Then when they dont show for it you have the 'it' and 10% of its value!

The 80 bucks sounds worth it when you are back up to bike fixing :yes::yes: :yes: :yes:
